Look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/sound/seq. At the minimum, it looks like you'll need to modprobe snd-seq. Probably snd-seq-midi, too, if you want MIDI. If you don't have these modules, and you aren't sure they're built into the kernel, it might be time for a kernel rebuild. Actually, looking at the output of `modprobe --show-depends snd-seq-midi`, you'll probably just need to load that module and it'll pull in all the rest. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
What exactly do I need to add to get the modules loaded on boot?
